Winter Craft – Marshmallow Snowman

There’s just something so WINTERY about a bag of miniature marshmallows! I have been staring at my bag of mini-marshmallows for a week trying to come up with a fun activity to celebrate this delicious and seasonally helpful treat.

After I enjoyed a cup of hot chocolate piled high with those babies, I came up with this…!!!

Don’t you love it?!?!

I was so excited I worked way too fast and forgot all about taking pictures of the step-by-step process. Talk about a moment of inspiration! 🙂

But it’s pretty self-explanatory, really.

Just glue your mini marshmallows into a snowman shape.

Then take one marshmallow and dip it into white paint. Decorate the background of your snowman scene with marshmallow-printed snowflakes! I thought that this was such a clever way to make a winter-y background!

And let me tell you, the Happy Buddy is OBSESSED with pretzel sticks right now, so whenever he sees this snowman (which is everyday because it is hanging on our fridge), he starts jumping up and down and trying to rip the pretzels off as a snack. You’d think he’d want those sweet marshmallows but he only has eyes for the arms!

I literally came into the kitchen the other day and he had his mouth ON THE PAPER. 🙂

CUTENESS!! In my prayer time this morning I had an idea…but I really need your help with it…we are going back to Palestine in a few months to visit my inlaws…I would LOVE to host a few women’s fellowship and craft nights:) I need some ideas…just like 3-4 simple but fun and meaningful crafts that I can do with these women:) Maybe even a few fun themed treats that I can throw together easily too… I think it would just be a really neat time to connect! Could you help????:):):)

I originally saw this on Pinterest. We did this with my 4 year old and two 2 year olds today. They had a blast mostly eating the marshmallows. Theirs didn’t turn out quite as perfectly, but they were still cute.

I do a similar project at my preschool, but we don’t use glue to stick marshmallows on.. We bite the bottom half off ( and eat it :)) then stick the marshmallow on our paper, since the middle is sticky, it works like glue. Fun project!!
